Abstract Background The opportunistic pathogen Naegleria fowleri establishes infection in the human brain, killing almost invariably within 2 weeks.The amoeba performs piece-meal ingestion, or trogocytosis, of brain material causing direct tissue damage and massive inflammation.The cellular basis distinguishing N.fowleri from other Naegleria specie
PointAttentionVLAD: A Two-Stage Self-Attention Network for Point Cloud-Based Place Recognition Task
Point cloud-based place recognition plays a crucial role in robotics and unmanned vehicle tasks, particularly in relocalization and loop detection modules of LiDAR-based simultaneous localization and mapping systems.It’s also essential for global localization in scenarios where prior pose information is unavailable.However, three-dimensional
Lymph Node Subcapsular Sinus Microenvironment-On-A-Chip Modeling Shear Flow Relevant to Lymphatic Metastasis and Immune Cell Homing
Summary: A lymph node sinus-on-a-chip adhesion microfluidic platform that recapitulates the hydrodynamic microenvironment of the lymph node subcapsular sinus was engineered.This device was used to interrogate the effects of lymph node remodeling on cellular adhesion in fluid Tea flow relevant to lymphatic metastasis.Wall shear stress levels analyti
The environmental formation directed to the protection of the Cuban biological diversity
The environmental formation directed to the protection of the biological diversity is a topic of great present time, it is framed in a moment when the global problems and the environment derivatives of these, are Horse Shampoo in the centre of the problematic of the world environment.Cuba is not exempt of them, and it is necessary to work these top
Values That Are Explicitly Present in Fairy Tales: Comparing Samples from German, Italian and Portuguese Traditions
Looking at how social values are represented in fairy tales can give insights about the variations in communication of values across cultures.We study how values Alpha Lipoic Acid are communicated in fairy tales from Portugal, Italy and Germany using a technique called word embedding with a compass to quantify vocabulary differences and commonaliti
